Lazar Berman is The Times of Israel's diplomatic reporter
Israel’s Ambassador to Ukraine Michael Brodsky is on his way from Poland to Kyiv to reopen the embassy for two weeks.
The consular section will be open as well, Brodsky tells The Times of Israel.
While in Ukraine, Brodsky will hold meeting with Ukrainian officials on humanitarian assistance and on rebuilding the country.
He will also discuss the recent statement from the Ukrainian Embassy in Israel warning Jewish pilgrims against traveling to Uman for Rosh Hashanah, an event that sees some 30,000 visitors during the High Holidays in a normal year.
